At work, I managed to scrounge one of those Dell CRT's for times when I need more space to work (excel, filemaker, etc.) I've seen that resolution listed, but have been afraid to go there. 1600x1280 works well enough for me (considering my vision problems).

i wish i could get there but my external monitor is a old 15" (hooked to my Radeon 7000 Mac Edition PCI) and i could only get to 1024x768 millions and my internal (hooked to the stock onboard video with 6mb vram ) can go to 1024x768 millions

they really don't have anything stopping them from doing these high resolutions. as long as the tube can do it (like dpm) they will take it. They are also brighter, and in my opinion, better for Video work, as they accurately represent what the majority population's are going to see when turning on their bigscreen TV's Especially since most people haven't upgraded to LCD/Plasma (I will *NEVER* go plasma, only LCD with backlight. Plasma's are horrible with them dying after 3 years)
LCD's also cost more, and they last a lot less time (think of the screen dimming and/or the screen starts turning red) than a CRT (as long as you have a quality one)

The only LCD's I have in the house are on my 2 laptop screens. One is an 11" on my Dell 233MMX and my other in my iBook 1.2Ghz

Where's the rotate menu? Want a fun game to play for a while? Rotate your screen 180 degrees and try to get something done. Very challenging, and very pointless... for those days when you've got nothing better to do.
